President's Message

Welcome to the Fire Inspectors Association of Nova Scotia (FIANS). I am coming to the end of my first term as President and I must say that it has been a great experience to date. We have put forward a number of training opportunities for members and non-members alike and we are moving forward with the strategic plan that was approved at our Annual General Meeting in May 2015. As part of this initiative, we have engaged a consultant, Bryan Roach, a man well known to the association and its members. Bryan’s role is to ensure that we stay on track with our plan and to help us with the work that is required to stay on track. We look forward to working with Bryan over the next number of years.

For members, please check out our web site periodically to catch up on new policies and training opportunities…

We are a provincial association that represents individuals and organizations that are dedicated to saving lives and property through the prevention of fires. Training for those on the ground and information sharing between our members, is important to achieve this goal.

The Association has developed a comprehensive professional studies program that ensures individuals in the field are current and well versed with the National Fire Code. FIANS believes it is important for fire inspectors in the province to understand the technology they may encounter. As such, the Association continues to develop education programs to meet this need.
